Flippers at the ready people (and we’re not talking about the ones that go on your feet) as a demo for Zen Pinball, the PSN’s first pinball game from ZEN Studios, is due to hit this Thursday.

The demo will allow players to sample one of these tables in a quest for flipper-glory and high scores that usually rank up in the millions.

And by ‘Feral Senses,’ we mean iPhone. Download the Wolverine app from the store and then snap a photo of specific icons to unlock images, wallpapers, trailers, and more directly to your iPhone. There are a total of five different icons to find and use the new photo recognition technology on, the first of which is on the back of the PS3 version of X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

If you have been here a few times before, you’ll probably notice that we like talking about PlayStation Home and are big fans of Killzone 2. In fact, we have more Home and Killzone articles than for anything else.

News is hitting that Digital Extremes will single-handedly create the online element of BioShock 2 allowing 2K Marin to focus on what they know best. At the same time, we also get what is shaping up to be a stellar early glimpse of the BioShock universe from an unlikely source.

PS3 Attitude on TwitterThis week in Twitter, we spent time discussing which netbook to buy, what cereal to eat, what constitutes an ‘exclusive’ and why Gmail is suggesting burlesque poledancing lessons in Newcastle.
